My daughter always wants "Tator Tots" when we go to Sonic, but what she really wants is a grilled cheese sandwich! I guess she always hears me order a grilled cheese kids meal with tator tots, but the tots are for me!

For lunch today my 3 1/2 year old son requested "peanut butter and honey on a pita, cut in 4 stripes, with a prune beside it". I've learned that failure to cut the sandwich as requested will result in his refusal to eat. And I don't know where the prune request came from.

We are fast-food addicts, and so Nour got addicted to french fries at about 14 months. She used to call them "Fries-eyes." Turkey in a tortilla was called a "turkey loll-up"Her current favorite food is "mac n cheese"

Evan wants "bears with balls on top" every morning for breakfast on the ride to the babysitters. Translation: a cup of Kix cereal with a few chocolate and oatmeal Teddy Grahams hiding at the bottom. We went thru a solid week of morning meltdowns because he wanted bears for breakfast before I learned that he'll eat whatever kind of 'good for you' cereal I put on top. (Kix are kid tested... mother approved!)

My daughter wanted a cheeseburger without meat. Many a waitress looked utterly puzzled. We were finally able to convince her that what she really wanted was a grilled cheese.Timmy, he just likes "ooodles" aka elbow macaroni.

In Canada, we have a chain of doughnut shops called Tim Horton's (actually, it's now "Tim Hortons" without the apostrophe since it was bought out by Wendy's... or is it "Wendys"). At T-ho's, the doughnut hole is sold back to us in the form of what is popularly known as the "Tim bit" - a spherical glob of lardy goodness. Daughter Maya is obsessed with them. If we drive by a Horton's, it's "beet! beet! beet!". Admitedly, I often think the same thing even when she's not in the car with me. She provides the basis for many a Horton's run.

When Wendy's bought them, they decided to put a Timbits in every 100 yards or so throughout the area. We have more Tim Hortons than we do Taco Bell or Arby's. In some areas, they even give Burger King and McDonald's a run for their money.

Elnora actually feasted on a few "honey dip" Timbits this morning for breakfast. :)

I had no idea that Tim's was in the States. I assumed you were Krispy Kreme/Dunkin' Donuts country down there. I actually grew up in Oakville Ontario, where the head office of Tim's was situated in Canada. Maya comes by her love of the bit honestly.
